We have a carob tree in the front yard, must have been there for 15 to 20 years. Well in the last few days it has finally started to produce flowers!
Unfortunately, after a bit of reseach it seems that it is only producing male flowers
. Some are monoecious, others are dioecious by the look of it, seems I got a dioecious male tree!
bugger.....

I'd just give up and go to the shop and buy some chocolate if I was you!

I dunno what any of that means and I'm just gonna pretend you misspelt monstrous and delicious and respond with:
Excellent! Party Hard, Nev!

When I was in Australia (back in those good old times when I was not quite as fat and unfit as I am now
), they had those delicious carob frogs at the health food shop in Warrnambool... That's over 20 years ago and I still remember them!
Did I spell Warrnambool right - or is it one r?

so if you were to plant a female carob,you'd get fruit?
You'd have to know for sure it was a female though

True, but it would take another 15 years.......................I don't know if I've got that long!
